[Alain] And in particular countries using extensively Latin 1 beyond
USASCII, nobody could care less about vulgar fractions as we use the
decimal system all the time.

The fact that the set of vulgar fractions is incomplete in Latin 1 make
these characters doubly useless and they can be replaced easily by 1/4,
1/2, 3/4.
